Answer:
(2g+h) and
(2g-h)

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is obtained by multiplying its lenght by its width.

You know that the area of this rectangle is
4g^2- h^2, then you need to apply the Difference of squares to find the dimensions of this rectangle.

Remember that the Difference of squares is:


a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Then, applying this, you get:


4g^2- h^2=(2g+h)(2g-h)

Therefore, now you know that the dimensions are:


(2g+h) and
(2g-h)
